CAS Space Deploys 8 Satellites in Single Mission
China's commercial space sector achieved another milestone on June 15, 2026, when CAS Space (中科宇航) successfully launched its Lijian-1 (Kinetica-1) rocket from the Dongfeng Commercial Aerospace Innovation Experimental Zone at 11:44 Beijing time. The mission deployed eight satellites in a single launch, marking the 14th flight of the Lijian-1 rocket and the 15th launch of the Lijian series overall. The satellites placed into orbit include the Wenwu-01 (Cultural Artifact-01), Ca
On June 15, 2026, CAS Space successfully launched the Lijian-1 rocket, deploying eight satellites in one mission. This was the 14th flight of the Lijian-1 and the 15th in the Lijian series. The satellites include high-resolution optical remote sensing models with advanced capabilities. The Lijian-1 has now launched 105 satellites, exceeding 15 tons in total payload. CAS Space, established in 2018, has completed four launches this year, including three Lijian-1 missions. The company also launched its Lijian-2 rocket in March. China's commercial space market reached 2.83 trillion RMB in 2025 and is projected to grow further. Other private companies like LandSpace and Galactic Energy have also been active. However, challenges remain, including foundational technology gaps and supply chain limitations. China's commercial space launches in 2025 had a 96.1% success rate. Experts stress the importance of maintaining quality while improving efficiency.
This achievement highlights China's growing commercial space capabilities and its transition to large-scale satellite deployment.
